Charleston Santa Teresa Cartagena in Bolívar, open January–December.
Charleston Santa Teresa rises from the cobblestone streets of Cartagena's historic El Centro district, where colonial architecture meets Caribbean light.
The hotel occupies a restored 18th-century building with views across red-tile rooftops toward the walled city's edges and the sea beyond.
Stone archways, interior courtyards, and period details create distinct backdrops for ceremonies and receptions within walking distance of Cartagena's most iconic plazas.
An unforgettable stay at Hotel Charleston Santa Teresa in Cartagena. The location is perfect, right in the heart of the Old Town, allowing you to explore everything on foot while enjoying a peaceful and refined atmosphere. The colonial building is stunning, full of history, with a charming inner courtyard and beautifully restored architecture. I really love this colonial architecture. The rooftop pool offers breathtaking views over the sea and the rooftops of Cartagena. The rooms are elegant, spacious, impeccably clean, and extremely comfortable. The service is outstanding: attentive, warm, and always ready to help with a genuine smile. You truly feel welcomed and cared for. The breakfast is varied and high quality, featuring fresh and local products. A hotel that perfectly combines luxury, authenticity, and serenity. I highly recommend it and would gladly return.
